Fields of Time: A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Heritage

The unveiling of the Fields of Time collection marked a significant milestone for Esnaf, presenting a body of work that seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary fashion. This collection debuted as part of the project “Ties That Bind” during the Sarajevo Fashion Week, a fitting stage to introduce designs rooted in timeless values and artisanal excellence.

Inspired by the life cycle of wheat, Fields of Time embodies growth, resilience, and the rhythm of life itself. Each handwoven belt, each piece of jewelry adorned with golden SRMA thread, tells a unique story—a testament to heritage and sustainability. The materials, sourced from rescued leather and fabrics passed down through generations, carry with them the essence of slow living and the beauty of preserving the past for future generations.

This collection represents not just accessories, but wearable legacies. It reflects a commitment to honoring traditional crafts while redefining their place in modern fashion. Working on these pieces has been a deeply personal journey, enriched by collaborations and new experiences. From choosing threads and designs to weaving patterns that echo the beauty of wheat fields, every step was infused with intention and heart.

A Mission Embodied in Every Thread

The core of the Fields of Time collection is its mission: to preserve and celebrate heritage through thoughtful design. By using materials that carry stories from the past, Esnaf aims to inspire customers to embrace slow fashion, valuing quality over quantity.

The project “Ties That Bind” amplified this mission, fostering connections across borders and uniting designers from different countries around shared values. These collaborations were instrumental in shaping this collection, adding depth and new perspectives to its narrative.

Reflections and Aspirations

Presenting Fields of Time at such a prestigious platform reinforced my belief in the power of storytelling through design. Each belt, each adornment, represents a moment frozen in time, a tangible reminder of the beauty of heritage and the importance of sustainability.

This collection is just the beginning. With every thread, Esnaf continues to weave a story of resilience, creativity, and hope for a more connected and mindful world of fashion.
